Your help is needed to fight bad biomass regs!

We need your help today!

Massachusetts is on the verge of adopting new regulations that will undermine all the progress we have made opposing biomass CO2, toxic emissions and PM 2.5 particulates.​

The new regs would provide massive subsidies for biomass boilers and combined heat and power (CHP) facilities that burn biomass. They would use ratepayer funds intended for clean, renewable heating to pollute our air, harm our climate, and damage our forests.

But before the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) can finalize this rule, the Massachusetts Legislature has an opportunity to weigh in.

Please take a moment to call your state legislators and the Chairs of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy TODAYand urge them to reject DOER’s regulations and demand a rewrite.They only have until November 15 to act.
